The member of staff who served me was curt to the point of being rude. I was disappointed that after being told that my bike would be fully built I found it was only about 60% built, perhaps they... See more

I would highly recommend Cycle King — you won’t be disappointed.

Visited Cycle King on Saturday 7th March as we were looking to buy a bike for our 9-year-old daughter. Alan was extremely helpful and took the time to talk us through several options without any pressure to buy.

Once we made our decision, we were told the bike would be assembled and ready to collect the following day, which was very convenient.

The price was excellent and the customer service was outstanding. We will be returning to buy a helmet and again in July to purchase a bike for our son. I would highly recommend Cycle King — you won’t be disappointed.

sarcastic, dont care staff

gears were jumping on the bike i had bought off them, took it into coventry road, yardley , he had a 10 second look and said he cant see anything wrong with it, take it for a ride, i said that i had rode it up here and they are jumping into different gears, he then said, if you had bought a thousand pound bike off us, instead of a cheap one, you wouldnt have these problems, you get what you pay for,,,,my advise is, dont buy from hawk cycles, very poor customer service, and dont care attitude staff

Reply from Cycle King - Hawk Cycles Yardley

Good afternoon Claire,

Thank you for your email.

We have reviewed the CCTV footage from your partner’s recent visit to the store. Based on our review, we found no evidence to suggest that the team acted unprofessionally or failed to provide a good standard of service.

The team took the time to discuss the concerns raised, including how much use the bike had received and the specific issues being experienced. Our mechanic promptly placed the bicycle on the workstand and carefully ran it through all gears. No faults were identified during this inspection.

The team then explained the option of booking a full gear service at a cost of £21, at which point we could also road test the bike. Your partner declined this, stating that there was "no point if it wasn’t going to change anything." Your partner also referred to the bike as “crap,” despite it performing correctly during the check. At no time did the colleague say that purchasing a better bike would result in no problems on the video.

While we are sorry to hear that you felt the service fell short of expectations, having reviewed the footage in full, we are confident that the team acted professionally and appropriately throughout the visit.

Should you wish to book the bike in for a service or discuss anything further, we would be happy to assist.

Kind regards,

Customer Support
Cycle King & Hawk Cycles

David - really helpful professional service. These people genuinely interested in helping me choose the right bike at the right price (as oppose to trying to get as much money off me as possible)

I took my grandson's bike to Hawks Cycles in South Yardley this weekend to replace a part of the gear system which we thought was broken and needed replacing.
It transpires that the part was not broken but had been fitted the wrong way around by a major bike retailer.
The team at Hawks cycles could easily have charged me the full price for carrying out the replacement works but did not.
I was very impressed with their honesty and friendly approach to their customer service
Thanks

Dreadful and the manger extremely condescending . I bought an expensive bike for my grandson. It was built by the shop. The front wheel fell off the day after delivery. The bike stand was fitted too close to the back wheel and rubbed the tyre. The chain came off completely.the seat repeatedly came off causing my grandson to fall off the bike. In returning the bike to the shop we were refused a refund despite what is recorded on the website as they believed the bike had been scratched the bike should be checked everyday to make sure all nuts and bolts are tight.i have shopped at Hawkes cycles doe or ably 20 years …..no more
